It does happen in three's.

I'm sort of in shock here.  His music was a big part of my childhood. 

Wow here also.

NO freakin way!!  Seriously??

Did the whole world just forget that MJ was a child molester who bought his own freedom, repeatedly, by buying off the parents of the children he raped?

Seriously.  Don't get me wrong, I like some of his music, it's great.  But that doesn't buy him a pass.  He's a disgusting animal, good riddance.

After some further research, I'm going to say the Jeff Goldblum thing is a fake. The same story was posted about Screech from Saved by the Bell two years ago:

"Actor Dustin Diamond died while filming a movie in New Zealand early this morning - May 23, 2007. Preliminary reports from New Zealand Police officials indicate that the actor fell more than 60 feet to his death on the Kauri Cliffs while on-set. Specific details are not yet available."

Irresponsible on my part before confirming. Sorry.

Whatever he did, he will be facing that sooner rather then later.

\Very true Brew.

We'rein Chicago... two days left on vacation...
Was just at Giordanos Pizza (best in the world) when I saw it on the widescreen. I'm shocked!
Then, I just found out about Farrah. While very sad, we all knew she was on her last days... but Michael?

As far as the 'child molester' - only god knows whether it was true or not. He was a VERY vulnerable man, and since he was robbed of his childhood, he was trying to relive it, or get it back. So, it may be true, maybe not. I personally thought that he was overly generous, and was taken advantage of himself. Why would MaCauly Culkin defend him so strongly when accused?

Regardless, he WAS the king of pop, this will probably be bigger than the death of Elvis, given the multimedia of this day and age... it will  be saturated with his passing - and what is even sadder is, this will overshadow the death of Farrah Fawcett.  I remember having the classic Farrah bikini poster as a kid on my wall, and she WAS Charlie's Angels. That show died when Cheryl Ladd took her place.

I am very sad today.   


Right now they are reporting that, like Elvis, apparently Michael was taking large amounts of prescription drugs that his family was concerned about him. Though it was cardiac arrest, that could be caused by abusing of prescripts.

However, Jeff Goldblum... that appears to be a rumour. With the advent of technology, these rumours spread like wildfires.

I think you said it very well Shawn.  Very well indeed.

and David Carradine makes 3.

As for MJ..His childhood didn't exist. I was living in Los Angeles, attending Fairfax High School, when the Jacksons emerged on stage. They(Michael was too you at the time)Jackie, Jermaine, Tito, drummer/cousin Johnnie, all attended my school. I was pretty close to Jackie and Johnnie and we talked a lot back then .It was profound, IMO, that I did not really think of them as "stars", more, I, and many of my peers pitied them, coz they were NEVER allowed any extracurricular activities, because they had careers to make for themselves.  The state required them to attend school, and tutors costr money, while public scool didn't.It ws clear that Dad had set them on a course, and heaven help the boy who decided to stray.
Michael was a musical genius........but, as many geniuses, he was horribly flawed in other aspects of his life.  The music remains, the children are safe, and thank GOd, we don't have to make a judgement about the man.
I always wanted to see Neverland .........
